Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

 

The appointment of the new Chief of Army Staff has been done bypassing the established convention of the senior most General assuming the post.  The Modi government's departure from this precedent has raised questions about the intent and motivation of the government.  The Indian Army should not be subject to any political interference.
